This has gotten so far off subject

Can't this be moved to a sub-forum

I’m curious why he left.


I was really curious to hear his thoughts on how the white run SA Rugby was terrible and doing a bad job.

ZCF has kept me in touch with Zim Cricket. I think it would have been very easy to forget about it being here in Aus and ZC being absolutely horrible at social media or any media of any sort.

It has also assisted me in getting some Zim gear where ZC has failed.


I asked hhm on twitter about the Boks. He replied:

To be quite honest the majority of us really couldn't be bothered about the Boks and supported every team they faced. But we congratulate them on their success. I'm a huge Mapimpi and Lukhanyo fan so their combination for that try my highlight.

I wonder if by majority, he means the people in his house only. He also probably began to hate Siya when he said that we need to work together as one.

Would it be better at Zim or a place like Sydney where a lot of people here are based?

Would have to coincide with some meaty cricket and cheap fares if Zim


We would do it in Sydney if this were the Australian Cricket Forum.


I mean, there is a T20 World Cup next year...

A ZCF trip to Zimbabwe is what is really in order. I would love to watch Zimbabwe play at the HSC, followed by a few beers at Googly's mansion.


That would be amazing 😂


We’d run the risk of getting lost in one of the many rooms/floors/hallways.

Jack Nicholson in the Shining but mansion instead of snow.

Nah, Harare, or perhaps Johannesburg or Cape Town if Zimbabwe are touring. We must Africanize any ZCF Convention.

I’m hoping to get over to Africa for a 3 week trip in the next two years, I’m planning on doing some safaris in SAF, Vic Falls & a week in Mauritius.

I’m hoping against all odds Zim have some home games on at the same time, possibly even a test match 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

If so I’ll let you guys know obviously

I have family in Harare and Johannesburg, but I make effort to avoid those places. You can Africanise any event, regardless of where it is.

And it would have to be within the next three years.

Before;

The last remaining decent generation retire,

And,

Before Zimbabwe devolves into straight out wartime Somalia.

There's a few Australian tennis players & NRL players who should take a pilgrimage your way to realise how fortunate they are.


Hahah, I know who you mean, but knowing them, they would probably use it as some publicity stunt. Talk about how blessed and touched they were to see what was happening and then two weeks later, be caught on the p**s outside Kings Cross harassing some girls.

Pocock is one of the few who knows how fortunate he is and does everything to give back. It's systemic of the society though. Pocock got arrested and charged for protesting a coal Mine. Folau got thousands of dollars and media backing for condemning people to hell.

I would make the trip down south. Zim would be a bit pricey to travel to (i work in the industry, been keeping an eye on the prices), and I'm not really sure it would be worth it to watch Kaia play a 50 ball 10, or Elton swing and miss as he hits an fearless 5 against a Nigerian side who go 1 up in the 3 match T20 series.

Would consider UK trip too. Always been wanting to go back to Manchester.

I say Sydney because it is touristy and I think most forum members are in Sydney or surrounds.

Jemisi, Jaybro, some other dude on the top of my tongue.

Zimbo and Milan are a cheap flight away.

That said, UK suits me just fine as I can get a cheap Ryanair flight from my current Soviet abode. Before People think the Sydney idea was self interest.

Berlin or Düsseldorf would suit me too thanks to Ryanair. Foreignfield can hang out with us and show the forum his pimp game and where he hides the bodies.
